Theresa Campo DNP FNP-C ENP-BC FAANP - Essential Procedures for Emergency, Urgent, and Primary Care Settings, Third Edition: A Clinical Companion

This book is composed in a manner that will help busy clinicians at the bedside. Those writing are active clinicians in busy, high acuity EDs who understand the value of quickly getting to the point when it comes to procedures in the practice settings this book is targeted for. A definite strength is the emphasis on ultrasound and procedures guided by ultrasound. My compliments to the editorial and writing team for getting what the frontline clinician needs in a procedure book.

As a physician assistant in a busy emergency department and as a member of a trauma service in a level 2 trauma center, being proficient in procedures is critical. Whether it is in the ED, the trauma bay, or the ICU, if a procedure is needed it is often needed right away. It is imperative to be proficient and efficient to give patients the care they need and deserve. Essential Procedures for Emergency, Urgent, and Primary Care Settings is a great resource to turn to for the most common procedures I perform on a regular basis.
